Two Different Cards Using The Same Stamp Sets

Hello there and happy happy happy Friday!!! Lydia here with you today. It seems like this week would never end … the will it, won’t it snow and will the school get cancelled won’t matter tomorrow and I can stop worrying about it (yes I know I worry too much lol)

So I have two cards to share with you today....

The first card I have to share is a shaker...



I love the flowers on ‘The Big , The Bold Extras’ and I am so excited that W&W are bring out some new florals in this next release

I cut white panels using ME ‘Basic Set Dies’ (sorry OOS but you can now sign up to be emailed when its back in stock) and then created a shaker element with them using the largest circle from Wplus9 ‘Clear Cut Stackers’ for my shaker card window. Before adding the acetate to the window I stamped my sentiment through the die-cut circle into place on my back panel.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut out two of the roses and then stamped the leaves behind them on the card layer before adding them with foam pads.

My next card is a lot different to my first…



Firstly I inked my card panel with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, I added my ink always from the top and only added a little further down to create this ombre effect. I then took the tiny stamp from ‘The Big, The Bold Extras’ and stamped this repeatedly with gold ink, again I added more stamping to the top of my panel and sparingly at the bottom to add like a falling effect.

Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from ‘The Big, The Bold And You’ in black. To finish I added acouple of splashes of Gold Color Shine, some clear sequins and some black enamel dots.

Golden Excesses!

Happy New Year from me!

You wouldn't believe the hassle trying to create just one simple card!- my bin is full of rejects!- or is that just me?

I wanted to bring ribbon back-

It's been neglected for too long.

The Cinderella of the craft world.

I'm still thinking about the excesses of Christmas so it seemed like a good idea to throw most of the contents of my craft room upon one poor card. Well, it seemed a good idea at the time ;-)

I've used two lovely Winnie & Walter sets; Big, Bang, Bling

and also The Big, The Bold, and You!

To get the shaped tag end, I used a quick trick by inserting the end of the card into the end of the die so it wasn't going to cut the bottom (useful for when your tag needs to be longer than the die is!)

                                       

I've simply used this Avery Elle tag set

To get the colour, I've just used mica powders over Versamark- simple and quick..I just need to nick one of my daughter's hairsprays now, so I can set it and avoid getting any more all over my fingers!

                                            

Great to be back- do check out the new challenge.. it's a real fun one with plenty of scope for creativity.

See you next week!

Amazing Friend

Good Afternoon. I'm so sorry for the extremely late post, just back off holiday this morning and I feel a little jet-laggy but I have managed to whip something up to share with you today.

I have used a great mix of different manufactures to create todays card.....

I have used a Memory Box die to create the partly cut-away background- to keep these random pieces ii place I have used sticky tape behind them. I have used gold washi tape on the base card which then peeps through. 

The beauitiful florals are from Wplus9's Spring Blooms- I stamped these on to stamping card using HA shadow inks and then added a little shading and depth with Copic Markers. Once finished I fussy cut these out to add to my card.

For the sentiment I cut out multipuls of the 'Friend Die' from Paper Smooches- for the top layer I stuck down a couple of pieces of black washi tape onto a white piece of card before die-cutting. The added 'amazing' is from Winnie & Walter's 'The Big, The Bold and You'( sorry currently OOS).

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Tall Trees

Hi!
This card started as just the tall trees from the gorgeous (Paper Smooches) Spring Groves set. I just love these tall trees!  I was going to stamp and colour using promarkers but the simplicity of the trees makes them just perfect for paper piecing!  This isn't something I do very often but I had loads of gorgeous scraps from Lawn Fawn papers that I just couldn't bear to throw away!

For the words I used Winnie & Walter Big Bold You.  Heat embossed in gold.  I also love the typeface font in this set along with the extravagant script - it's a lovely combination!

So here is my card for today.   I hope you like it!   Check out Winnie & Walter - the range is gorgeous! 

 

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend - whatever your plans!
